Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

Part One - Introducing the Sports Parks Management Plan

1.1 Purpose of the Plan

The purpose of a Reserves Act 1977 (“the Act”) management plan is to provide a framework for the management of reserves and meet Council’s obligations under the Act.

This management plan has been prepared by Council to provide guidance for the administration and management of sports parks throughout the Gisborne district. This management plan includes thirty sports parks. It aims to provide a comprehensive and cohesive framework for the management, provision, use and development of Gisborne’s sports parks and includes some of the district’s high-profile reserves.

The vision

Our sports parks meet the needs of the community for fit-for-purpose, attractive, safe, accessible and connected sport and recreation spaces. Management decisions are based on the most cost-effective way to provide for current and future uses

The Vision will be achieved through Management Objectives and Policies to provide management guidance, consistent with statutory and legislative requirements and industry best practise.

This management plan also includes service level standards and expectations. Implementing the management plan is subject to funding allocations in Council’s Long Term Plan.

A542426 Page | 1

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

1.2 Council’s Parks and Open Spaces Activity

The Council maintains a parks and open spaces network that provides the district with areas for cultural, leisure and recreational activity while ensuring landscape amenity values and ecological protection and enhancement of these areas is achieved.

Council provides a range of parks and open space areas, amenities, services and venues for both active and passive recreation. Generally, sports parks include sports turfs or surfaces that are designed and used for sport and recreation, and that are often supported by community facilities and services.

1.3 Council’s Sports Parks

Council has a number of sports parks throughout the district. Thirty sports parks are included in this management plan.

Approximately half of the district’s sports parks are located in Gisborne city and have been developed to provide for a particular sports code, while also providing for passive recreation (walking, picnicking), informal ball games, and playgrounds. Sports parks within the built environment can contribute to the amenity of the surrounding area as well as providing important walk and cycle links between schools, neighbourhoods, community hubs, shopping precincts and other destination areas.

The other half of sports parks are located from Te Araroa in the north through to Motu in the west and in the south. The sports parks in these small provincial townships are likely to have multi-functional use, providing for sports, community events/gatherings, and local school use.

Some Council sport parks may be surplus to current needs. In these cases Council may consider alternative uses such as grazing, farming, community gardens, or over-night camping consistent with a lease, license to occupy or other agreement under the Reserves Act 1977 or Local Government Act 2002 (as required).

There are sports parks in the district outside the ownership or management of Council. In some cases, Council contributes to developing and maintaining these facilities where this is the most cost-effective way to ensure community sports and recreation needs are met (e.g. in ).

Council aims to ensure rates (and taxes) are used cost-effectively in the provision and management of sports parks. When making decisions on developing sports parks, Council will consider whether:  there is a demonstrated community sport and recreation need; and  other similar facilities and services are already provided.

Council provides aquatic facilities at the Olympic Pools Complex. Although the facility provides opportunities for sports and recreation this facility is better considered under a specific management plan. The Olympic Pools Complex is not included in this plan.

1.6 Sports Parks - Status under the Reserves Act 1977

The majority of sports parks included in this management plan have status under the Reserves Act 1977 and are classified as a reserve for recreation purposes.

Once this management plan is operative Council can undertake activities (and leases) that are clearly stated in this management plan without requiring any further public notification (or resource consents under the RMA). Public consultation may still be required for leases or activities that we have not provided specifically for in the Plan. Under the Reserves Act, Council has delegations which have streamlined the reserves management processes, recognising the public consultation process undertaken during the development of the reserve management plans.

For some sports parks (or parts of sports parks) that do not have status under the Reserves Act 1977 (see table, section 1.3), this management plan will not have any statutory authority. Any development on these reserves may require resource consent (under the District Plan) and administrative requirements such as leases should be processed under the Local Government Act 2002 (as with any other ‘fee simple’ land owned by Council) and may require public notification.

Council officers are in the process of classifying all of Council’s sports parks and this process should be complete prior to the completion of the sports parks management plan.

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

Part Two - Legislation and Planning Policy Framework

2.1 Introduction

The preparation of the management plans for reserves is a legislative requirement under the Reserves Act 1977. The Act sets out the management planning process and defines the purposes and functions of reserves. A hierarchy of legislation and Council strategies and policies inform and provide the framework for this management plan.

Legislation and documents that help shape the Management Objectives and Policies for the plan include:

 Local Government Act 2002;  Ten Year Plan 2012-2022;  Council’s Active Recreation Strategy 2005;  Resource Management Act 1991; and  Gisborne District’s Combined Regional Land and District Plan (”District Plan”)). 2.2 Reserves Act 1977

Council is required to prepare management plans for reserves held under the Reserves Act 1977 (the Act). The purpose of a management plan is defined in the Act as to:

…provide for and ensure the use, enjoyment, maintenance, protection and preservation, as the case may require, and to the extent that the administering bodies’ resources permit the development as appropriate, of the reserve for the purposes of which it is classified (Section 41(3)).

The majority of our sports parks are classified as recreation reserve under the Act. This classification provides for a range of uses and is the most commonly used class by local authorities due to its broad recreation and environmental principles:

A542426 Page | 8

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

Providing areas for recreation and sporting activities and the physical welfare and enjoyment of the public, and for the protection of the natural environment and beauty of the countryside, with emphasis on the retention of open spaces and on outdoor recreational activities, including recreational tracks in the countryside (Section 17(1)).

Council has the authority to prepare multi-reserve management plans where reserves have the same class under the Act, or are used for a similar purpose, for example sports parks across our district.

Statutory Framework for Reserve Management Plans

Local Government Act 2002 (To meet the needs of the community ... provide good quality infrastructure ... that is Reserves Act 1977 Resource Management Act most cost-effective) (To provide for the use and 1991 management of reserves while (To manage the use and allowing for development for development of reserves in an recreation purposes) environmentally sustainable

Ten Year Plan

Reserve Management Strategic Direction District Plan Plans Community needs Objectives, policies Objectives, policies Strategies, Policies, Bylaws and methods for and standards for managing land use Activity Management Plans reserve land

2.3 Local Government Act 2002

The Local Government Act 2002 empowers Councils:

To meet the current and future needs of communities for good quality local infrastructure, local public services, and the performance of regulatory functions in a way that is most cost-effective for households and businesses.

Councils, however, have extensive discretion in relation to activities they undertake, as long as they have consulted their communities in making the decision. As a result there is considerable diversity in the range of activities that Councils provide, reflecting the different circumstances cities, towns and communities find themselves in.

The preparation of a district-wide Sports Park Management Plan is signalled in the Ten Year Plan 2012-2022 and capital funding to implement the management plan has been set aside. 2.4 Ten Year Plan 2012-2022

The preparation of the Ten Year Plan is mandatory under the Local Government Act 2002. It is the principle document providing strategic direction for Council’s activities as well as identifying priorities for action and funding streams.

A542426 Page | 9

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

The Ten Year Plan recognises the importance of an open space network that provides for community and recreational opportunities, as well as cultural, landscape and ecological protection and enhancement. It also signals those reserve management plans to be prepared and implemented by Council over the next ten years. A budget is currently set aside for the implementation of this management plan. 2.5 Council Strategies and Policies

There are a number of Council strategies, policies and bylaws which must be considered and integrated within the reserve management planning framework. The most relevant strategies, policies and bylaws referred to during the development of this management plan are:  Active Recreation Strategy 2005;  Open Space Strategy 2002;  Urban Development Strategy 2009;  Walking and Cycling Strategy 2005; and  Council Bylaws.

2.5.1 Active Recreation Strategy 2005 The intent of this Strategy is to demonstrate how Council will continue to provide the infrastructure (parks, reserves and facilities) for currently active people and increase the opportunities, through collaboration, for people who are currently inactive to participate. This Strategy identifies an active recreation vision for the Gisborne District, and provides a strategic approach to furthering the realisation of this vision: To develop a healthy community through active recreation Te Whakawhanake i te whanau whanui ki te oranga

To maintain the health and well being of the people of the Gisborne District, to promote the enjoyment of active recreation, and to enhance our region as a place to live and visit, it is essential that we put in place effective strategies that promote active recreation.

One of the key actions identified in this Strategy is the preparation of reserve management plans which encourage and provide for sport and recreation.

2.5.2 Open Space Strategy 2002 One of the Strategy’s key values is to enhance existing open space, and encourage investment in existing parks rather than further acquisition of land for sports purposes. The Strategy acknowledges that Gisborne district has a reasonable area of land available for sports activity.

A key principle of the strategy is: To cater to the needs of an ever-changing community by maximising the effectiveness of our resources to provide for a range of active and passive recreation activities, while ensuring these open space areas contribute to the identity and amenity of the surrounding area

2.5.3 Urban Development Strategy 2009 The Urban Development Strategy is a guiding document for sustainable spatial planning. The Strategy aims to create a city that provides for a healthy, prosperous and diverse community in a sustainable manner. The Strategy outlines how urban form and development influences a range of aspects of community life including active recreation. The priority recreation goals in the Strategy are to provide facilities and open space attractive for recreation and sporting activities.

A542426 Page | 10

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

2.5.4 Council Bylaws Bylaws are the local laws set by the Council. They include laws around public health, safety, nuisances and animals. Council bylaws facilitate the use of parks and open space within the district and restrict and control certain activities within them. This management plan will be consistent with, and give effect to all Council bylaws including the following:  Reserves Bylaw 2008 (to be reviewed in 2014);  Public Places Liquor Control Bylaw 2003; and  Dog Control Bylaw 2010.

The Reserves Bylaw identifies a range of activities which Council can prevent or restrict through enforcement action. The bylaw includes provisions around sporting use and games, animals on reserves, vehicles, camping, fires, times of opening and charges.

The Public Places Liquor Control Bylaw identifies ‘Liquor Ban Areas’ where:

Any place or part of a place that is under the control of the Council, which is open to or used by the public, whether or not a charge for admission applies, including but not limited to any road, street, service lane, footpath, car park and reserves within the area below: Gisborne CBD Area bounded by and inclusive of: Roebuck Road, Taruheru River (southern bank), Turanganui River (western bank) and Waikanae Creek (northern bank) at all times.

The Dog Control Bylaw identifies dog prohibited areas and designated areas for dogs on reserves.

Dog prohibited areas include Harry Barker Reserve, Kaiti Memorial Park, The Oval, Skateboard Park, Victoria Domain, Heath Johnston Park (Wainui Road end), Rugby Park and Rutene Road Reserve.

Designated areas for dogs include Awapuni Stadium, Nelson Park (pool end), Waikirikiri Reserve, and Heath Johnston Park (Parone Road end). 2.6 Resource Management Act 1991

The purpose of the Resource Management Act (RMA) is to…

Promote the sustainable management of natural and physical resources to manage the use, development, and protection of natural and physical resources in a way, or at a rate, which enable people and their communities to provide for their social, economic, and cultural well-being and for their health and safety while…

a. Sustaining the potential of natural and physical resources (excluding minerals) to meet the foreseeable needs of future generations; and

b. Safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of air, water, soil and ecosystems; and

c. Avoiding, remedying, and mitigating any adverse effects of activities on the environment.

A542426 Page | 11

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

2.7 District Plan

The District Plan defines the way in which the district’s natural and physical resources will be managed to achieve the principles and purpose of the RMA. The District Plan recognises management plans prepared under the Reserves Act as a method to implement its objectives and policies.

The District Plan provides for activities on reserves through the use of zones. Reserves are grouped into four broad zones based on the levels of actual or potential adverse effects that can be sustained by each reserve site. District Plan zones include; recreation reserve, neighbourhood reserve, heritage reserve, amenity reserve, and cemetery reserve.

2.7.1 Recreation Reserve Zone The majority of the district’s sports parks are zoned ‘recreation reserve’ in the District Plan. This zone covers those reserve areas that enable active and organised recreation. The recreation reserve zone provides for sports fields, tennis courts, and sites for indoor recreation and leisure pursuits which have the potential to attract large numbers of people. The potential to attract large numbers of people brings with it possible loss of amenity. The zone provides for some control on the location, scale and design of structures and buildings and provision for adverse effects of increased traffic, noise, glare and lighting. The purpose of the zone is to enable the community to provide for its sports and leisure needs in such a way that the scale and organised nature of such activities does not create adverse effects.

Land use activities within the recreation reserve zone are permitted provided they meet the General Rules (i.e. structures, height, lighting and glare) where applicable, and the activity is carried out in accordance with an approved management plan prepared under the Reserves Act 1977. The Sports Parks Management Plan will provide specific planning guidance for management and development of sports parks, consistent with the District Plan and other planning documents and policies.

Part Three – Vision, Objectives and Policies

3.1 Vision

Our sports parks meet the needs of the community for fit-for-purpose, attractive, safe, accessible and connected sport and recreation spaces. Management decisions are based on the most cost-effective way to provide for current and future uses

The Reserves Act 1977 requires Council to provide for the use, maintenance, management, preservation, and where appropriate, development of parks and open space. Part Three outlines the Management Objectives and Policies that will give effect to the Vision.

Management Objectives provide high level goals to guide strategic decisions regarding sports and recreational use, maintenance, management and preservation of special values.

The Policies ensure management decisions are consistent for all sports parks and provide guidance for the day-to-day management and use of sports parks.

The Discussions provide further explanation or examples of best practise management.

It should be noted that there are a number of background reports that have been prepared to inform the development of this Plan. These are included in the Appendices and are cross- referenced throughout the Plan.

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

3.2 Management Objective 1 – Sports and Recreational Use

To provide sports parks and facilities that are well used for sports and recreation, and are enjoyed by the local community and visitors to our region

Sports and Recreation Use Policies

3.2.1 Sports turf: Council will provide natural sports turf (grass) to meet the sporting needs of the community. Turf will be developed consistent with best practice, New Zealand standards and specifications.

Discussion: Council’s sports parks have been categorised into four categories relating to level of service and facilities required to cater for user levels and expectations from international through to local use. Sports turf has been considered in relation to these categories providing for National, Premier, and Community level use. At this time there is no demonstrated need for international level competition sports turf. For a complete list of sports turf and their standards see Part Four - Development Standards.

3.2.2 Sports courts/surfaces: Courts on sports parks will be developed and maintained to a level that is fit-for-purpose and consistent with national standards to ensure safe and enjoyable sporting use.

Discussion: Council should provide good quality courts/sports surfaces to ensure safe and enjoyable sporting use. The National Condition Grading Standards recognise ‘average’ quality courts as having “functionally sound surfacing but appearance and serviceability affected by minor defects”. Sports surfaces should be maintained to the ‘average’ standards as a minimum. (see Part Four - Development Standards for further information.)

Where these areas are leased, sports surface maintenance expectations should be considered in the lease agreement. A key factor to be considered should be equity between various sports codes. At this time there appears to be some inequity between the quality and/or level of facilities or assistance available to various codes. Other factors include participation levels and numbers, growth or decline of codes, new sport and recreation trends, partnership opportunities and sharing of resources.

3.2.3 Installation of specialised infrastructure/facilities: Installation of specialised surfaces and infrastructure will be at the cost of the club or code, with prior approval from Council. Where possible, Council will support applications demonstrating a partnership approach (i.e. multi-use/partnership approach opportunities between different clubs/codes).

Discussion: Council will likely provide standard sports and recreation facilities to meet general community need as there are risks and costs associated with specialised infrastructure that prevents most Councils from providing specialised types of facilities.

However, sports club partnerships are increasingly being seen as a more sustainable approach to provision of sport and recreation than stand-alone single activity clubs and facilities. Council is more likely to be supportive of applications which demonstrate long-term viability as part of a hub (facilities that service multiple codes on the one site), a precinct (a cluster of facilities in close proximity), or co-location (a mix of sports and facilities at the same location, that includes sharing of core facilities such as changing rooms and reception)1.

A542426 Page | 14

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

3.2.4 Access – car parks: Car parks will be provided on sports parks consistent with rules regarding provision in the District Plan. Temporary over-flow car parking areas may also be provided, where this will not interfere with sports surfaces/turf. Discussion: Council provides car parking to provide sufficient access opportunities to parks. The number of car park spaces required is determined by rules in the District Plan (relating to activities undertaken on the park). Further information on the number of spaces required is included in Part Four - Development Standards. Temporary overflow car parking may be necessary from time to time for one-off events. The location of overflow car parking should be provided where it will not interfere with sports turf or ancillary facilities (e.g. overflow car parking should not be located where vehicles could damage sports turf irrigation systems).

3.2.5 Access – all-ability: To develop all-ability access to sports parks and facilities consistent with Council’s Disability Strategy and national standards. Existing facilities and infrastructure will provide for all-ability access as resources allow. Discussion: Council provide public amenities and facilities consistent with the Building Code (NZS4121), and recommendations within Council’s Disability Strategy to ensure equitable access for all abilities.

3.2.6 Access – walking and cycling: To develop safe walking and cycling linkages to and through all sports parks where it does not interfere with turf/sports surfaces. Walkway linkages connecting services and facilities will be developed in high use areas. Discussion: Council provides a number of sports parks throughout urban Gisborne that provide important linkages between neighbourhoods and community hubs. Some of these parks have been identified in the Walking and Cycling Strategy as potential locations for proposed walk/cycleways such as The Oval, Rugby Park, Gisborne Golf Park, and Nelson Park. Pedestrian linkages should also be provided between facilities and amenities, such as between car parks and changing rooms, and to provide all-ability access.

3.2.7 Access – bike racks: Bike racks will be located at sports parks to support alternative transport initiatives. Bike racks will be provided on sports parks with walkway/cycleway linkages as a first priority. Discussion: Council provides walkway and cycleway infrastructure to support recreation and commuter needs. Bike racks will be provided at sports parks with cycleway linkages to provide cycle-friendly sports parks.

3.2.8 Training grounds and lighting: Training grounds will be provided on sports parks to meet sports code/community need. Where training grounds are required for use after dark (winter training), Council will provide floodlighting. Discussion: Council will provide training areas and lighting to meet demonstrated need. Lighting will be consistent with rules in the District Plan.

3.2.9 Lighting ownership: Where existing flood lights have been provided by sports clubs/codes, Council may decide to lease or purchase these (unless they do not meet standards and should be replaced). Future use of these lights will be at Council’s discretion and consistent with its sports parks booking process. Discussion: Council will provide appropriate flood-lighting for training grounds, recognising this is a core level of service (historically these may have been provided at the cost of codes/clubs with ongoing issues regarding allocation of parks and training grounds due to lighting ownership). Council officers will negotiate with clubs/codes to purchase or lease the lights.

A542426 Page | 15

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

3.2.10 New buildings: There must be a demonstrable need for any new building on a sports park. In deciding if a new building is warranted, Council will consider: the direct contribution of the building to enhancing use and enjoyment of the reserve for recreation and sports purposes; whether the building will provide for the sports and recreation needs of a wide range of community members; if the new building would be multi-use or have an element of public access; if there are other facilities at the park or nearby that would adequately meet community needs; the intended level of use throughout the year; and/or if the new building is consistent with Council’s design standards. The development of new buildings/facilities will be limited to one per sports park. Discussion: Buildings take up open spaces on reserve areas limiting the space available for recreation purposes. The footprint and number of buildings need to be minimised to ensure the most cost-effective use of space. Council will provide direction around building/facility provision within sports parks to ensure vital open space is retained. Where possible the provision of new buildings should be limited to ensure the retention of open space for informal and passive recreation, and to provide open space relief to the surrounding built environment.

3.2.11 Change of use of existing buildings/structures: Where a lessee wishes to surrender a lease or does not renew it and intends to sell the improvements, including any buildings, to a new lessee, each party to the transfer must have Council approval to the transaction. Discussion: Council has ultimate responsibility for the use and management of all assets on public reserves. Council retains the right to prevent the sale of buildings and structures on reserve land to unsuitable tenants or activities.

3.2.12 New buildings – storage: The development of any new buildings should provide an area to store recreation or sports equipment within the same building. Discussion: Council will provide direction around the provision of storage areas within sports parks. Currently there is a lack of storage capacity within existing buildings on sports parks. Future buildings should include secure storage areas, where appropriate.

3.2.13 Play equipment: Where sport parks are located alongside residential areas, or where there is a lack of play facilities in the surrounding area, basic play equipment may be provided. Discussion: Council will consider providing play equipment on sports parks that will enhance the current network of play equipment throughout the district and such provision compliments the current distribution within neighbourhood parks. Play areas will be developed to meet the New Zealand Playground Safety Standards (NZS5828).

3.2.14 Park furniture: Park furniture and similar facilities are provided, consistent with Council’s design standards, to support the recreational use and enjoyment of sports parks (e.g. picnic tables, seating, walkway). Discussion: Council will provide furniture to support the use of sports parks for passive recreation and spectator comfort. Any furniture should be consistent with Councils design standards.

3.2.15 Park name signs: Park name signage will be located along street frontages and park entranceways to ensure sports parks are easily identifiable for visitors. Park name signage will be bi-lingual, consistent with Council’s Bi-lingual Signage Policy and will display internationally recognised park symbols. Discussion: Park name signs for all sports parks will be located at park entranceways and along main street frontages. Parks should be easily identifiable for locals and visitors to our district.

A542426 Page | 16

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

Standard signage and branding will be used across the parks portfolio to ensure consistency across the district. With one of the largest Māori populations in New Zealand coupled with a growing number of Māori language speakers, Council promotes the Maori language as another method of communicating with customers and the wider public. Council will give priority to installing bilingual signage for public amenities and parks and reserves due for replacement “(Bi-lingual Signage Policy, 2013). International park symbols are easily recognisable and are considered best practice for reserves signage within New Zealand’s parks and recreation industry.

3.2.16 Fencing: Appropriate boundary fencing that is consistent with the Fencing Act 1978, District Plan rules, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and Council’s design standards will be provided for sports parks. Discussion: Council will fence sports parks adjoining residential boundaries. Fences should be no higher than 2 metres (maximum height allowable in the District Plan). Where possible, lower or open fencing should be negotiated with neighbours (rather than high solid fencing) to enhance natural visual surveillance opportunities. Gates leading from private properties can also improve access to the park and help create a sense of community open space. 3.3 Management Objective 2 – Maintenance of Sports Parks

To maintain sports parks that are fit for purpose for sport and recreational use, and are accessible and safe to use

Maintenance of Sports Parks Policies

3.3.1 Turf and sports surfaces: Sports turf (fields) and other sports surfaces (such as hard surfaces will be provided to a level that ensures a standard appropriate for their use and that is cost-effective2. Discussion: Council’s maintenance contract (EW09/19 Reserves Maintenance 2009-2014) provides maintenance specifications to ensure Council’s sports turf/surfaces are maintained to an appropriate standard consistent with national grading standards (National Asset Condition Grading Standards, 2005). Gisborne’s climate, topography, quantity of sports parks and turf as well as user levels means natural soil-based turf is the most cost effective option for codes at this time. See Section 4.3 for more detailed sports turf cost analysis.

3.3.2 Park amenities: Sports park amenities (including facilities, furniture, entranceways/ driveways and plantings) will be provided to a level that encourages use and enjoyment, and/or enhances amenity value. Discussion: Council’s maintenance contract provides maintenance specifications for the parks and open spaces activity. This activity is maintained under contract EW09/19 Reserves Maintenance 2009-2014. It is Council’s responsibility to oversee this contact to ensure appropriate service delivery.

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

3.3.3 Rubbish bins: Litter recycling and appropriate disposal will be encouraged within all sports parks. Where possible, sports clubs/codes will be encouraged to remove litter and to sort glass, plastic bottles and cans for recycling as part of their lease agreement. Discussion: Sports parks provide for large visitor numbers and as such, should provide rubbish receptacles to encourage appropriate disposal of litter. Where clubs/codes have a leased area (or manage a space for a particular period of time i.e. Saturday morning) they should remove any litter at the end of that session. 3.4 Management Objective 3 – Management of Sports Parks

Manage access, use and development of sports parks for sports and recreational use and to ensure investment in sports parks is cost-effective

Management of Sports Parks Policies

3.4.1 Leases: Leases will only be permitted under the following conditions:  Council’s satisfaction with the lessee’s performance;  the exclusive use of part of the reserve is necessary to support a sporting or recreational activity that is complementary to the purpose and function of the reserve;  the lease provides for the sport and recreation needs of a significant proportion of the local community;  the potential lessee is responsible for the maintenance of the leased area consistent with Council’s maintenance standard and an appropriate level of insurance as defined in the lease agreement;  the purpose of the lease would be the most appropriate use of that site;  the lease area is subject to redevelopment;  the lease promotes equitable support and provision for all codes; and/or  the lease is the most cost-effective way of providing for community needs for sport and recreation facilities.

Granting of a lease does not constitute an automatic right of renewal. Discussion: A lease grants exclusive use over an area of a reserve and excludes the public. The needs of local communities should take precedence over those of specific organisations. Council will negotiate leases for the sites of buildings and sporting activities with sports club or organisations in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977 (section 54 and the provisions under Schedule One) unless the reserve does not have status under the Reserves Act, in which case the lease would be processed under the Local Government Act 2002. See Section 1.3 ‘Council’s Sports Parks’ identifies those parks that are ‘reserves’ under the Reserves Act 1977. Lease arrangements should demonstrate consistent and equitable support from Council across codes consistent with participation numbers and levels of play. At this time there are codes or associations which lease buildings and/or sports surfaces or premier sports parks and are responsible to maintain at an appropriate level of service, while Council is responsible for the maintenance of most other premier sports park facilities. This can cause some discrepancy in levels of service of facilities as well as financial hardships for affected codes. Future leases should consider options for equitable investment from Council. It has become increasingly difficult for Clubs/Codes to be able to keep their facilities up to national standards. There are opportunities for Clubs/Codes to apply to funders and Council may consider applications for financial support for capital projects through the Ten Year Plan process (partnership approaches and participation levels are factors likely to be taken into consideration).

A542426 Page | 18

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

3.4.2 Renewing leases: Existing leases will be reviewed as they near the end of their tenure. Lease renewals will be conditional on the following criteria:  Council’s satisfaction with the lessee’s performance;  the exclusive use of part of the reserve is necessary to support a sporting or recreational activity that is complementary to the purpose and function of the reserve;  the lease provides for the sport and recreation needs of a significant proportion of the local community;  the potential lessee is responsible for the maintenance of the leased area consistent with Council’s maintenance standard and an appropriate level of insurance as defined in the lease agreement;  the purpose of the lease would be the most appropriate use of that site;  the lease area is subject to redevelopment;  the lease promotes equitable support and provision for all codes; and/or  the lease is the most cost-effective way of providing for community needs for sport and recreation facilities. Discussion: The leasing of an area should take into consideration its existing use and the potential impact on the general public and the use and enjoyment of the area. Community needs for sports and recreation needs may change over time and Council needs to remain responsive to emerging needs to be able to meet participation levels and levels of service requirements. Council also has a statutory requirement to ensure it is providing infrastructure and services in the most cost-effective way. Leases be processed under the Reserves Act 1977 where the park has reserve status under the Act, or processed under the Local Government Act 2002 (Section 1.3 identifies those parks that are reserves under the Reserves Act 1977).

3.4.3 Allocation/bookings: Council will manage and allocate the use of fields/surfaces and other facilities through a booking system to ensure the most cost-effective provision of sports parks. Sports park users will apply to Council and appropriate facilities will be allocated, where possible. Discussion: To ensure equitable and appropriate access to sports park facilities Council will manage the allocation process through a booking system. Council will allocate sports fields, surfaces and facilities to codes/clubs/community groups with consideration of participation levels, user requirements, capacity of ancillary facilities (such as car parking), existing clubrooms, and turf and soil type. Council may take into consideration the club or codes preferences (park or location) but this will only be one of the considerations. Information gathered through bookings will inform Asset Management Plans and a review of Council’s Fees and Charges Policy.

3.4.4 Overnight camping: Overnight camping will not be permitted on Council sports parks except in the following circumstances: where the reserve has a specific licensed campground and is managed by Council; where the area is designated as a Freedom Camping area; and/or where Council has approved an event of which camping is an intrinsic part and the event follows Council’s requirements for health and safety and site maintenance and management. Discussion: Overnight camping has the potential to have a significant impact on the availability and amenity of reserve areas. Camping activities have the potential to impact on the longevity of turf surfaces, the cleanliness and health of the site (human/animal and solid waste disposal), and safety at the site (with broken glass, metal objects etc being buried in the pitch). Use of sports parks for overnight camping needs to consider the costs of these impacts and how they can be mitigated and compensated for.

A542426 Page | 19

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

3.4.5 New codes: Council will consult with existing users/codes but may allocate turf/assets to a new code (sporting activity) consistent with the community’s changing needs. Discussion: Council will support all codes, including new codes to gain access to the appropriate facilities, where possible. Trends in sport and recreation change from time to time and new emerging sports can at times have difficulty securing facilities where there has been traditional code use. Each application to Council will be taken on a case by case basis and consideration of factors identified in Discussion 3.4 will be taken into consideration.

3.4.6 Closures: Council will restrict the use of sports fields or training grounds (at its discretion) when weather or ground conditions are considered unsuitable and/or excessive damage to Council’s asset is likely to occur. Council will provide as much notice as possible to users regarding restricted use. Discussion: Council may need to close access to sports turf from time to time due to weather related events to ensure playing surfaces do not sustain long-term damage. Where possible, Council will provide access to alternative facilities/sports surfaces. Council officers will endeavour to contact booked users of sports park facilities where closures are planned at the earliest possible time. Council will also liaise with clubs and codes to provide them with relevant information.

3.4.7 Closed for renovations: Sports parks may be closed periodically for maintenance or renovation works. Sports parks users will be provided with information in advance and offered alternative playing surfaces where possible. Discussion: Council will need to close sports surfaces and facilities from time to time to undertake programmed maintenance and renewal work. Council will provide access to alternative facilities, where possible, and ensure any potential interruptions are kept to a minimum.

3.4.8 Community events: Council will consider applications for use of sports parks for one-off community events of less than 3 days in duration based on the following criteria: the potential degree of negative impact of the event on the sports park: the impacts of any exclusive use on existing users; the impacts of use on the future quality of the sports park particularly the turf and ancillary facilities. Council will also consider if the event will contribute to the enjoyment of the public of the reserve. If the preferred location is not available (or deemed inappropriate) then an alternative location may be offered. Charges may be incurred pending the review of Council’s Fees and Charges Policy.

There will be an onus on the organisers of events to ensure waste has been sorted and recyclables recovered for processing. Discussion: Sports park users will need to apply to Council via the booking system to ensure an area is available, and to allow maintenance to be programmed. Booking a sports park area for an event will also help to reduce any potential conflicts of use. Bookings can be made at Council or on Council’s website. See Appendix 6 - Park Booking Form.

3.4.9 Fees and charges: Council will consider charging for seasonal, casual and training use of sports parks as well as events during the next review of its Fees and Charges Policy 2012. Discussion: Fees and charges for Council services are charged consistent with the Fees and Charges Policy 2012. At the time of review Council should consider charging for the use of sports parks to recover some maintenance costs. In the past, Council has charged users up to 5% of annual maintenance costs. Other Councils charge for seasonal, casual and training use, but school bookings are free of charge.

A542426 Page | 20

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

3.4.10 Smoke and alcohol free: All Council sports parks will be alcohol and smoke (tobacco and psychoactive substances) free. Exemptions for alcohol sale, supply and consumption apply to: clubrooms where the correct licensing requirements are abided by; and to specific events where the lessee or applicant has secured Council permission and correct licenses. Council will support the installation of alcohol and smoke-free signage to support this messaging. Discussion: Liquor consumption and smoking (both tobacco and psychoactive substances) in public places should be managed consistent with the Liquor in Public Places Bylaw and Council’s Alcohol Policy (currently being prepared). Clubrooms wishing to serve alcohol will need to have a liquor licence issued by the Gisborne District Council. The public are encouraged to remain smoke-free in public places intended for sports and recreation. This is currently advocated through signage) and monitored by local clubs and codes.

3.4.11 Alcohol liquor ban: It is an offence to consume or carry opened alcohol in a Liquor Ban Area (Gisborne CBD area to Roebuck Road) consistent with Council’s Liquor in Public Places Bylaw. Discussion: It is an offence to consume or carry opened alcohol in a Liquor Ban Area. This means alcohol may only be consumed in a building, licensed premises or on your own property. Under this bylaw the NZ Police have powers to search and seize and arrest (the maximum fine is $2000). Liquor Ban Areas include the Gisborne inner city area along to Roebuck Road (which includes Childers Road Reserve, Barry Park, Victoria Domain, and the Skate Park). (See Appendix 8 for Gisborne City Liquor Ban Area.)

3.4.12 Encroachments: Any encroachment on sports parks will be addressed consistent with Council’s Encroachment Policy. Discussion: Council’s Encroachment on Council Administered Land Policy provides a clear direction regarding the handling of encroachments on Council administered land. There are currently a number of encroachments by private landowners onto land administered by the Council.

3.4.13 Alternative use: Council will consider proposals for alternative use of sports parks where there is a surplus to community sport and recreation requirements (i.e. allow for overnight camping). Some activities, such as grazing, may require a lease for the reserve to be used for that purpose (under section 73 of the Reserves Act). Discussion: Ensuring access for sports and recreation should also be balanced with ensuring parks can be used to their full potential to meet community needs. From time to time, if there is a surplus of sports parks or a lack of demand for sport and recreational use, Council may provide for alternative uses, such as over-night camping. Grazing on recreation reserves is permitted under the Reserves Act however Council would need to enter a lease agreement to allow a recreation reserve to be used for grazing (under section 73 of the Reserves Act 1977).

3.4.14 Line marking: Sports turf and surfaces will be marked to appropriate dimensions and standards to provide for organised sports and training. Discussion: Council requires that lines are marked with line-marking paint rather than chemical spray. It has been identified by turf specialists that there is likely to be a cost saving in the long term as worn lines will not need to be repaired at the end of each season. Standard dimensions for sports surfaces are included in Part Four – Development Standards.

A542426 Page | 21

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

3.4.15 Utilities/services: Council may consider granting easements through sports parks for: any public purpose; for providing access to an area included in an agreement, lease, or licence; for the distribution or transmission of utilities services; or for drainage of land including land not within the sports park.

External infrastructure on reserves will only be permitted to locate on reserves via an easement where: all other options have been investigated; there will be no adverse affects on the use or enjoyment of the reserve; there will be no adverse effects on the amenity or cultural significance of the reserve; there will be no increased cost to Council on the maintenance of the reserve; any adverse affects can be mitigated through planting or landscaping; all utility structures that involve pipes, cables, lines or similar shall be placed underground, except where this is not practicable; and the location of the easement will not result in any lost opportunities for Council in terms of the future development of the reserve.

Utility services necessary for the servicing of the reserve, its buildings and other facilities within the reserve shall be permitted.

All costs associated with the installation of services under or over a reserve, including costs for making good the affected area during or after construction, or any remedial work, are borne by the utility provider to the satisfaction of Council.

3.4.16 Public art: Council will identify spaces within all sports parks where public art will be erected. The public art will be of a scale and design that is appropriate to the site, does not detract from the sports and recreation values of the sports park and is consistent with Council’s design standards.

3.4.17 Licences and permits: The temporary or permanent private commercial use of public reserves will generally not be permitted. From time to time, however, Council may determine that a commercial activity is complementary to the purpose of a particular reserve, will assist in the public use and enjoyment of the reserve, is compatible with or will avoid or mitigate any potential adverse effects on neighbours and will not adversely affect the general character and amenity of the reserve. In such cases Council may determine that it is appropriate to provide for the activity by way of a licence/permit.

Any concession for use of a reserve will: define and limit the area within which the activity is to be carried out; specify the times (over the year and during the day) during which the concession can operate; specify the nature of the activities the concession operator can provide; define the signage (if any) permitted in association with the concession; and specify the fee or bond amount.

Concessions will not provide for the exclusive use of any part of a reserve and will not function to the disadvantage of general public use of the reserve.

Any concession permitted by Council will be specific to the operator identified and will not be transferable.

A542426 Page | 22

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

Any concession granted by Council will be for a specified period with no automatic rights of renewal. Discussion: Sports parks provide valuable open space with potential to hold large events. Council should consider applications for commercial activities and one-off events, as long as they do not interfere with the parks’ primary purpose as sports and recreation reserves. Council would need to feel certain that any potential effects from the event or activity can be mitigated before approval is given. Currently, there are no fees or charges included in Council’s Fees and Charges Policy for the use of sports parks, although this may be amended during the next review of the policy as part of the Ten Year Plan process. 3.5 Management Objective 4 – Preservation of Special values

To ensure the preservation of any special values (heritage, cultural, and environmental) within sports parks, while providing for sports and recreation needs

Preservation of Special Values policies

3.5.1 Cultural, heritage and environmental values: Council will ensure areas of cultural, heritage and environmental significance in sports parks are preserved and commemorated (eg through public art), while providing for sports and recreation. Discussion: Cultural and heritage values (including waahi tapu sites): The district has a wealth of heritage both pre and post European contact. It is acknowledged that this resource provides an identity unique to the people of the district and should be recognised and protected. The management of our heritage implies a duty of care and responsibility to pass it on to future generations with the least possible loss. There are a number of reserves recognised under the District Plan as being within a Heritage Alert layer (identified in overlays 1-3 in the District Plan maps). Any development/disturbance in these reserves should take into account the potential to come across artefacts/areas of heritage significance. These areas include Watson Park, Lytton Road Reserve, Awapuni Sports Stadium, Barry Park, Patutahi Reserve and Nelson Park). Environmental values: This management plan recognises that sports parks are often multi- functional. This also extends to their natural environments. Most sports parks are modified areas of open space providing for organised sports. However at the fringe of some sports parks there are areas of natural significance with environmental values, such as the scenic bush area at Anzac Park and the Motu Scenic Reserve adjacent to Motu Recreation Ground. These areas of natural/environmental value should be preserved and, where possible, enhanced, while still providing for sport and recreation. Some sports parks contain specimen trees identified as significant and registered on Council’s schedule of potentially notable trees (on public land in the city area only). Potentially notable trees have been identified on the following sports parks: Childers Road Reserve, Nelson Park, and Kaiti Memorial Park. See Part Five – Park Descriptions for further information.

A542426 Page | 23

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

Part Four – Sports Park Provision and Categories

The sports park categories in Part Four will be used to identify areas where further development is required on sports parks, consistent with the Management Objectives and Policies from Part Three. Funding of development will be considered during the preparation of the Ten Year Plan, as required under the Local Government Act 2002. Part Six includes an Implementation Plan. 4.1 Sports Park Categories

Council’s sports parks can be categorised by the standard of facilities and services they provide including sports surfaces. These categories are based on the generic needs of users.

Category Description

National Sports surfaces and services appropriate for international level competition.

Premier Sports surfaces and services appropriate for premier provincial and inter- provincial competition.

Community Sports surfaces and services appropriate for community level competition.

Basic Basic green area available for local use/needs.

A full spreadsheet is attached as Appendix 2 – Sports Park Categories, Levels of service, and Gap Analysis. The spreadsheet identifies various categories of sports parks, standards of service (consistent with NZRA Guidelines) and identifies gaps between what Council currently provides and should provide if these parks are to meet national standards3. Identified gaps may change over time.

The spreadsheet has been attached to this document as an Appendix to the Plan and will be updated as this information changes without need for further approval or consultation. 4.3 Sports Turf To provide turf which meets code and participation level requirements consistent with national standards. 4.3.1 High Category Turf This sports field turf is appropriate for international, national and representatives’ competition. 4.3.2 Medium Category Turf This category sports field is appropriate for regional and senior levels of competition and training for competitive sport 4.3.3 Low Category Turf This category sports field is appropriate for junior, social and practice amenities.

Council provides natural turf which is soil-based. Gisborne’s climate, topography, quantity of sports parks and turf as well as user levels means natural turf is the most cost effective option for codes at this time.

See below for average costs per turf type over ten year life-cycle.

3 Categories have been developed in consultation with Sport Gisborne Tairawhiti.

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

4.4 Court Surfacing (e.g. Synpave/Plexipave)

Policy in this Management Plan requires courts to be maintained to at least ‘average’ condition to ensure safe and enjoyable use of sports courts – see National Standards below.

4.5 Amenity Grass (non-sports turf)

The amenity grass areas are all those areas of grass on the sports park which are not sports turf. This should be maintained to a standard appropriate for passive recreation (i.e. generally a maximum height growth of between 20-60mm and/or consistent with contract EW09/19 Reserves Maintenance 2009-2014). 4.6 Sports Surface Dimensions

The development of playing surfaces will be consistent with recognised sports dimensions for playing areas4, where possible/required.

Code Dimensions Cricket - wicket 20.12m long between centre line of stumps and 1.35m-1.52m wide each side of centre stump Cricket – Outfield 64-68.6m radius (recommended) Cricket – Outfield (junior) 40-50m radius Hockey – Field 91.44m length and 50-55m width with 3m side margin and 4.5m end margin (recommend 6m clear space between adjoining hockey fields) Netball – Court 30.5m length and 15.25m wide (recommend minimum 3.7m buffer area around each court) Rugby - Field Maximum 112m – 120m length and 68m width (recommend 3m buffer area around each field)

4 These are standard dimensions circulated by Sport NZ (previously as the Hillary Commission).

A542426 Page | 27

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

Code Dimensions Rugby League – Field Maximum 112m – 120m length and 68m width (recommend 3m buffer area around each field) Softball – Field Playing field requires clear and unobstructed area within radius of home plate between two foul lines: male and female fast pitch = 68.58m, male slow pitch = 83.82m, female slow pitch = 76.2m Soccer/Football - Field 100m length with 64m wide (recommend 9m end margin and 6m side margin) Touch Rugby – Field 80m length and 54m width (recommend 3m space around field)

4.7 Field Marking

A sports field/surface that has been correctly marked out will meet all of the following requirements: 1. Line markings will be in accordance with the legal requirements for the particular sport. 2. Lines (where applicable) will be straight. 3. Lines will be between 75 and 100mm width. 4. Line marking will be completed with approved products.

5. Lines will not compromise playing quality for the season’s user groups5

Line marking will be completed with a specialist turf line marking solution or dilute acrylic paint that is free of anti mould agents such as Simazine. 4.8 Car parking

Provision of car parking on reserves must be consistent with the requirements under the District Plan. The number of spaces is determined by the activities provided for, such as:  Golf = 2 spaces per hectare  Sports fields = 12 spaces per hectare  Sealed sports surfaces = 20 spaces per hectare  Lawn sports (bowls etc.) = 80 spaces per hectare.

There are also car parking requirements for licensed and unlicensed clubrooms. 4.9 Public Toilets Any public toilets on sports parks will need to be consistent with New Zealand Public Toilets Standards NZS4241:1999.

The Standards provide design information and advice on the numbers, location, type and quality including features and fittings for public toilets in any location. Guidance on cleaning and sanitation is also provided. Toilet facilities composed of all-gender, single, fully enclosed, self-contained units are proposed. Traditional separate gender facilities are also covered. 4.10 Lighting

Rules regarding appropriate levels of light spill (approximately 10 lux spill within residential properties determined by the District Plan. 4.11 Play equipment

Play equipment is required to meet the New Zealand Playground Safety Standards (NZS5828).

4.12 Park Name Signage

Park name signage will be along main street frontages and/or access ways. Signage will be consistent with Council Policy and branding guidelines. 4.13 Bylaw Signage

Bylaw signage may be provided consistent with Council bylaws when and where required to regulate problem behaviour. These signs may be installed in problem areas until the problem is resolved. 4.14 Sponsorship Signage

Sponsorship signage can be provided, consistent with signage regulations in the District Plan (includes the following rules: maximum height of freestanding signs of 2.4m, maximum sign face areas of 3m2, signs affixed to a building shall not protrude above the roofline, and signs shall be located on the site to which they relate)6. 4.15 Walkways and Cycleways

To provide linkages consistent with the walkway/cycleway Policy 1.6 and consistent with Council footpath and dual use specifications and design standards.

Park furniture, including picnic tables, seating, rubbish bins, etc. will be consistent with Council’s design standards. 4.16 Plantings

Riparian planting in Council reserves will be consistent with Council’s Streamside Planting Guidelines. Plantings in sports parks will be native eco-sourced plants where cost-effective and practicable.

Retention of open space was identified as a significant issue during consultation. In order to retain open space, while still allowing for the storage of flat water recreation vessels, the plan identified an area alongside the southern rowing shed as ‘preferred’ should Council receive any new building applications. This information is still relevant (see Appendix 8 – Anzac Park Site Plan, Anzac Park Management Plan 2007). Council is in the process of surveying accreted land along Additional Information Waimata and adjoining Anzac Park. Once a process is undertaken the accreted land may become part of the adjoining reserve land and can be classified as recreation reserve under the Reserves Act 1977 at the time of gazettal. At this time Council and codes will be able to enter a lease agreement for the use of space for buildings. Anzac Park includes an area of Native Bush which is of environmental value and significance. Preservation of this native bush area should continue. Site Plan See Anzac Park Site Plan on following page.

7 Site Plans show reserve areas managed by Council (yellow boundary) and within these areas are some parcels that are not classified reserve (purple blocks) but still managed and/or maintained by Council.

Appendix 3 - Needs Analysis/Winter Use of Gisborne Sports Fields (2013)

This needs analysis identifies the current allocation of sports fields in Gisborne City9 the desired levels of service to be provided in the community and resources needed to achieve this level of service.

A needs analysis is used to clearly understand who is using the fields, what are they using the sports fields for and what future trends may affect that use. The following factors are part of the needs analysis: 1. Sports Field Demand: Understanding supply and demand can assist with identifying the current level of use and projecting future levels of use; 2. Environmental and Geographical Factors: Understanding surrounding conditions that may have ongoing impacts on field maintenance and performance; 3. Sporting Trends: Identify both national and regional sporting trends and local demographics to assist with the projected sports field demands.

Sports Fields Demand

Part of developing an understanding of sports field demand, this needs analysis has considered factors such as; what types of sports will be played, what age groups will be using the field, the number of hours the field will be used for training and competition and consider both winter and summer users who may have differing requirements10.

The following approach has been used to identify and quantify shortfalls in sport field capacity (displayed in the spreadsheet on the following page):  Identify all teams and user groups  Determine current field demand per sport per user group  Identify all available fields  Determine current field capacity (i.e. hours of use per field and total field hours available in City)  Identify surpluses and shortfalls (hours of use per week) based on projected population growth and sports group/club growth.

Environmental and Geographical factors impacting soil based sports field surfaces

Although ten hours of use per sports parks is the optimum level of use allowing for cost effective user and maintenance to provide appropriate levels of services, this is a very general rule of thumb. The factors identified in the table below affect the capacity of fields for sports use. These are taken into account and maintenance programmes are identified and adjusted as necessary to ensure optimum level of play.

9 ‘Needs Analysis’ has only been undertaken for city sports parks, not district wide, as the City is generally the sports hub for the district. There does not appear to be any supply or demand issues in the rural areas of the District. 10 Summer users have been considered however a through supply and demand assessment is not considered necessary at this time due to much less demand. Although, it is important to understand summer use to ensure summer and winter use can be accommodated without conflict and allow time for maintenance and repair of sports fields.

A542426 Page | 111

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

On average the average use of Gisborne sports fields is 11.5 hours per week. This identifies a minor over use of fields during winter11. All of Council’s sports fields are soil based therefore the impacts of various factors have only been considered for these types of fields (rather than considering sand based and artificial turf as well).

Factors Impact of factors

Climate Fields will not perform in extreme climatic conditions, including drought, coldness, wind and high rain periods. Good drainage design will prevent flooding issues from arising. Choice of grass species will provide a durable option.

Soil type Undertake a geotechnical investigation which will summarise the physical properties of the soil and the rock of the site.

Water Availability The playability and safety of soil-based sports fields will be adversely affected if they dry out of alternatively is they are over-irrigated.

Trees Summer shade can be advantageous but excessive shade in winter is detrimental to grass growth. Tree roots may grow into the silt drained system resulting in drainage failure.

Landfill sites Landfill sites often have gas emission, subsidence and drainage issues that require careful management.

This analysis has identified that Gisborne has enough sports fields and these can be maintained at appropriate levels of service to meet existing and future use once additional training areas are developed12.

11 This can be alleviated through the development of two extra fields for matches and/or training at Heath Johnston Reserve (not currently used during winter). 12Two training fields with lights should be developed at Heath Johnston Reserve. At this time it is recommended these areas be made available for Rugby League. This will alleviate current pressure at the Oval, Watson Park, and Waikirikiri Reserve to optimum levels of use (approx. 10 hours of use per week).

13 Hours of play have been identified through booking of sports fields through Council’s booking system, meetings with codes, and in discussion with Sport Gisborne Tairawhiti. Assumption 1 considers the impact of 25% of the booked time not resulting in play on the turf (meeting/coaching tips/discussions etc.). 25% reduction of hours from 335 hours = 251 hours/29 (number of fields available) = 8.6 hours of use on average per sports field. This is consistent with optimum hours of use (identified by Sport NZ ‘Guidance Document for Sport Field Development Options’, Feb. 2013).

Appendix 4 – NZTI Maintenance Programme and Management Recommendations (2012)

The New Zealand Sports Turf Institute (NZSTI) assessed all sports parks and categorised as follows using PRAMS (National Parks and Recreation Asset Condition Grading Standards):

Categories and maintenance standards are fully discussed in Part Four of the Management Plan.

Park Name Existing Winter Use Existing Summer Use Recommendations (NZSTI) Anzac Park Soccer  Anzac Park should continue to be used for soccer.  Manage use during periods of high rainfall. During the start of the soccer season Anzac Park could be utilised on a regular basis allowing parks with free draining profiles to be rested. These parks can then be utilised during wetter periods allowing Anzac Park to be rested.  Lateral drainage installation in the field and cut-off drain at base of bank to collect surface run-off.  Physical treatment to complement a lateral drainage system (vibra-moling).  Potential to provide earthworm control that will assist with use management. Awapuni Sports League Athletics  Sports field is suitable for any winter sports codes with athletics using the ground during summer. Stadium  The kikuyu surface is ideal for sand dominated soils that lack an irrigation system as it provides stability and cover. Although the kikuyu affects the mowing management, it should be retained as the dominant turf species.  Regular mowing and use of growth regulators during summer months to manage the kikuyu growth. This will assist in providing an ideal running surface for athletics.  Continued topdressing of depressions and hollows over time. Barry Park Rugby Softball, Croquet,  Level hollows/depressions within fields  Control weed grass populations through spot treatment  Provide water connections so travelling irrigators can be used where soil deficits are encountered.  Utilise one field as a training ground and use the remaining two fields for games. This could potentially reduce use at The Oval. Childers Road Soccer Soccer  Control crowfoot grass. Reserve  Under-sowing with ryegrass cultivars to increase density.  Provide water connections so travelling irrigators can be used where soil moisture deficits are encountered.  Increase off field training areas by shifting fence back towards Childers Road. This would result in approximately 2500m2 behind the Childers Road goal.  Earthworm control to minimise surface sealing from earthworm casts.

Park Name Existing Winter Use Existing Summer Use Recommendations (NZSTI) Gisborne Golf Park Golf Golf (leased) Harry Barker Reserve Hockey Cricket  Control paspalum populations through spot treatment to ensure ball roll is not affected.  Provide water connections so travelling irrigators can be used on areas other than No. 1 cricket ground were soil moisture deficits encountered. This however is somewhat difficult due to the cricket blocks.  Earthworm control to minimise surface sealing from earthwork casts.

Hatea-a-Rangi  Introduce kikuyu into the reserve, as it will better tolerate the coastal conditions. Reserve, Tokomaru  Convert the soccer field into a rugby training field to cater for the high levels of use the rugby field is receiving. Bay  Seasonal physical treatment to relieve compaction within the profile. Heath Johnston League League?  Shift the field back away from the playground to make a bigger training area beneath the light towers. This Reserve would be considered a low cost option.  Re-levelling the reserve to allow two fields to be positioned side by side running from the road to the creek. There is approx. 12m between the road and the creek allowing for this. This would involve a complete spray out of the site, re-levelling and then sowing the field.  If two fields are positioned on the reserve one field could be utilised solely for training.  Use management during wet periods. Matawai Motu

Nelson Park Soccer Cricket  Position soccer fields (senior and junior) as shown in the plan.  Seasonal physical treatment to improve winter drainage performance.  Manage use through wet periods.

Patutahi Golf Course, Golf Golf Patutahi

Patutahi Recreation Soccer, Hockey  Seasonal physical treatment to improve drainage performance. Ground, Patutahi practice, Rugby  Manage use through wet periods.

Manutuke Rugby League Rugby League  Increase mowing frequency, reduce height of cut, and introduce slow growing grass species including Training Training browntop and fescue. This would require spraying out the agricultural ryegrass.

Te Araroa Domain, Te Rugby Rugby  Weed control Araroa  Fertiliser to encourage turf grass cover  Re-level hollows or depressions within field. Te Karaka Recreation Rugby, hockey, Bowls, speed shears,  Physical treatment to improve winter drainage performance Ground, Te Karaka community activities community activities  Use management Te Puia Springs  Physical treatment to aid in improving the drainage characteristics Recreation Ground,  Regular mowing and reduced cutting height Te Puia  Rolling to remove hoof prints  Shift rugby posts to Hatea-a-Rangi Reserve so two rugby fields are provided for winter use.

The Oval HSOB Rugby, OBM  Increase physical treatment works to relieve compaction, improve drainage and improve rooting depth. Rugby Football  Increase turf density through regular mowing, fertiliser applications and under-sowing of ryegrass cultivars. Club Kikuyu can be undersown in the sandy and high wear areas.  Provide water connections so travelling irrigators can be used where soil moisture deficits are encountered.  The area closest to the clubrooms should be used for training only. There is also area alongside the no. 1 field that could be used. These areas will require an increase in inputs to ensure turf cover is retained. Continued training on the fields will result in poorer surfaces. If training space is limited teams may have to train at other grounds.  Control crowfoot grass.

Tiniroto Recreation  Where the field is used for sport then the ground would require mowing, rolling to remove hoof prints and weed Ground, Tiniroto control to ensure a playing surface is provided.  If the ground is not to be used for sport then it can continue to be grazed. Uawa Reserve, Rugby Pony Club  Control crowfoot grass and summer grass. Tologa Bay  Ensure that the ryegrass does not become dominant within the turf sward. If this occurs the couch stolons overtime will decline and this will impact on summer performance.  Identify minor undulations and top-dress with a sandy loam.

Appendix 5 – Global Leisure Group: Sporting Infrastructure Review – Report to Community Development Committee, March 2012

12/128

Subject: Global Leisure: Sporting Infrastructure Review

Prepared by: Nedine Thatcher Swann (Group Manager Community Planning & Development)

Meeting Date: 14 March 2012

Report to COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Committee for DELIBERATIVE

SUMMARY

Global Leisure Group was commissioned by the Eastland Community Trust to undertake a review of Gisborne’s sporting facilities. The objectives of the Situation Analysis were to define the sporting infrastructure Gisborne needs to meet current and future demand and to define how the current and future demands can be met.

The Situation Analysis report was presented for Councillors’ information at the Ten Year Plan workshop on 15 December 2011 and a staff perspective was provided to the Eastland Community Trust late February 2012 (attached).

It was noted at the Council meeting on 1 March 2012 that Councillors wanted to have an opportunity to discuss the recommendations contained in the sporting infrastructure report further. As a result of this, this report has been prepared as a basis for the deliberative. The issues presented to Council in the report involve community development, regulatory & environmental policy & planning, parks & reserves management and compliance reporting. While the matter is being debated at the Community Development Committee, the wider implications need to be considered.

1. BACKGROUND

Global Leisure Group was commissioned by the Eastland Community Trust to undertake a review of Gisborne’s sporting facilities. The objectives of the Situation Analysis were to define what are the sporting infrastructure Gisborne needs to meet current and future demand and to define how the current and future demands can be met.

The Situation Analysis is attached. The primary findings of the review are as follows:  There are a limited number of community indoor sports facilities in Gisborne to meet the required demand. This demand is projected to increase in the future.  While there is a supply of indoor sports spaces in schools, they are significantly limited due to the following reasons: o incorrect size (for tournaments) o are subject to school priorities o Lack a range of requirements and are geographically spread.  There are two community areas in need of indoor space in Ruatoria and Kaiti, both high deprivation and high concentration of Māori youth.  The indoor facilities currently provided by Eastland Badminton, Gisborne Sport Youth Trust and the YMCA have maintenance issues, are not fit for purpose and/or spectator seating is limited.  There is an adequate supply of sports parks for the foreseeable future.  There are many school pools in the region but only two covered indoor heated school pools. The availability of the indoor heated school pool space is limited. Almost all of the water space in school pools is limited in its community availability.  Much of the region’s aquatic swimming and recreational provision is via the Olympic Pool Complex and it is acknowledged that there is a lack of supply of aquatic leisure facilities.

 There is potential for a redeveloped aquatic centre to be able to increase the provision of learn to swim programmes in the region. However there is not likely to be a demand for 50m long course events in the future as Swimming NZ have indicated that these events are likely to be held in the three main metropolitan centres.  In consideration of similar districts, an indoor stadium spectator capacity needed is in the vicinity of 1000 to 1500 and it is unlikely Gisborne will attract high level fixtures to justify the cost of developing such a centre.  There is significant room for partnerships and collaborations and consolidation of sporting codes on key sites. Much of the current sporting infrastructure supply is marginally fit for purpose.  There appears to be positive intent among many organisations to share resources and work collaboratively.

In terms of needs, they have identified that Gisborne:  Needs a regional hub for hockey  Needs to replace the Olympic Pool complex with an indoor aquatic centre  Lacks a regional indoor stadium able to accommodate spectator seating of 1000-1500  Needs a replacement hub for Gymsports  Needs to consolidate investment on one spectator arena for rugby, rugby league and football

A542426 Page | 125

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

 Needs provision of indoor courts in Kaiti and Ruatoria to fill gaps in the district wide network.

The major recommendations of the Situation Analysis are provided for on pages 11 to 16 of the report. Many of the recommendations provided concern Council reserves. The major recommendations include:

 Childers Road – Further intensification on the site to include an indoor swimming pool and indoor sports. The report recommends that further development of the precinct should proceed to consolidate most major sports facilities at the Childers Road. This includes the development of an indoor aquatic centre with an approximate footprint of 3500m² and an option to relocate the hydro slide. Est. cost of $15-$16.5M. Also proposed at the site is the development of indoor courts, a health and fitness centre, a human movement centre for Gymsports and the option for a sports house administrative hub. (page 11)

 Foreshore Precinct - Churchill Park/Olympic Pool, Midway, Waikanae, Awapuni and Watson – The proposed strategy for this area is to “optimise the sport and recreation, social and economic value of the area and improve the utilisation of facilities and land by attracting visitors on a regular basis”. This involves demolishing the existing pools or finding an alternative use being focussed on destination leisure facilities. Redevelopment of the Midway and Waikanae Surf Clubs and increased membership is recommended as well as converting the Awapuni Stadium primarily as an events venue and developing Watson Park by installing additional toilets and change facilities, installation of lights, and improvements on field. (pages 12-13)

 Ruatoria – Development of a new facility linked to Whakarua Park for schools to meet indoor sports requirements. (pages 13-14)

 Rugby Park, Showground’s and Gisborne Park Golf Club Precinct – Focus investment on Rugby Park and try and formalise an agreement to see some football and rugby league fixtures moved to Rugby Park. (page 14)

 Harry Barker Reserve – Proposed that football be the main winter sporting code for use of the field when hockey exists while also allowing for cricket and possibly bowls. (page 15)

 Nelson Park – To be a hub for hockey but consider collocation of softball and having a shared facility for hockey, softball potentially BMX and rugby league. (page 15)

 Waikirikiri Park, Kaiti – Development of the community sport and recreation hub. (page 15)

 Bowls – Consider/encourage one hub for bowls using existing greens at Riverside Bowling Club. (page 16)

2. DISCUSSION

The findings from the Situation Analysis present many areas for Council consideration, particularly in relation to the following:  Policies around leasing decisions for sporting groups  Contributions/support to community sporting initiatives  Most importantly, the redevelopment of the Olympic Pool Complex (ie demand for 50m pool, and location)

A542426 Page | 126

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

The Global Leisure report is being put to the Eastland Community Trust (ECT) as an investment plan, giving a strategic direction as to where the ECT should allocate funding to future sporting infrastructure projects. For the “investment plan” to be successful, it will require Council’s endorsement/buy in to the ideas recommended in the report (the major implication for Council being the proposed alternative site for the Olympic Pool Complex).

The recommendation put forward in the report with respect to the location of the Olympic Pool is likely to be the most controversial and to date. Council officers have not undertaken any investigations on this site, nor has any community consultation been carried out. However the report provides a starting point for which Council can scope further.

An activity review of the Olympic Pool was carried out by staff earlier this year. That review resulted in the Finance & Monitoring Committee noting an action to revisit the “Aquatic & Recreation Review with Strategic Leisure’s findings” (action 16 June 2011). Global Leisure’s findings have not gone to the extent of reviewing the activity at the detailed level. However what it has done is presented an entirely different proposition that requires Council’s direction.

The Situation Analysis report was presented for Councillors’ information at the Ten Year Plan workshop on 15 December 2011. The direction given to staff from that meeting was to not include any proposal in the draft 2012-2022 Ten Year Plan that puts forward the report’s proposition of a new location for the Olympic Pool site in the draft 2012-2022 Ten Year Plan. For this reason the proposed alternative site (ie Childers Road) has not been included in the draft Plan.

Other recommendations in the report were not discussed, so it is important that Council deliberates on the wider report recommendations and themes. It is also important to note, since this time however, the Council at its meeting on 1 March 2012 endorsed the Kaiti Community Sport and Recreational Hub project, which is promoted by the Global Leisure report as being the “ideal model” of hubbing/collaborations. This project has been included in the draft 2012-2022 Ten Year Plan.

Where to next?

The Council needs to further investigate the recommendation of a Childers Road precinct. As noted in the MEMO (attached) two primary strategies that discourage an alternative Pool site are the:  Urban Coastal Strategy  Urban Development Strategy.

The Urban Coastal Strategy outlines a commitment to remaining on the existing Pool site. Given this, the Council will need to be satisfied that they are not compromising other social, cultural, environmental and economic benefits for the singular focus of “efficiencies within the recreational domain”.

It is unclear from the report, and from discussions with Global Leisure, as to what long term economic impacts a closure of the existing pool site will have on the tourism sector (positive or negative) and whether relocation will bring the same gains. As noted, the strategy for the Foreshore Precinct is to be that of “economic value of the area and improve the utilisation of facilities and land by attracting visitors on a regular basis”, however, little attention is given to the alternative treatment for the Olympic Pool complex site.

Also questionable about the proposed relocation is that an aquatic hub already exists along the Foreshore Precinct and the recommendations seem to almost contradict the promoted concept of “Hubbing”.

A542426 Page | 127

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

However, what the report does do is open up the possibilities for future development. The next steps for Council will be to investigate the following:  Which areas/proposed directions in the report that have merit?  What policies or plans need to be put in place to give effect to ideas that have merit?  What needs to happen by way of alignment of the proposed directions with existing plans and scheduling of capital projects?  What are the wider community views and preferences for the proposed directions?

Depending on the directions given, the Council will need to undertake thorough feasibility assessments on the options presented including o cost benefit analysis and impact on four well beings o decommissioning costs o alternative usage for the existing site (ie restrictions/offer back provisions)

Appendix 10 - File note – Operational costs for sports parks – December 2013

 Recreation Reserve zone area (sports parks + others) = 39.9% (or 48) of all Council’s Parks and Open spaces activity. The SPMP does not include 48 areas (not all areas are appropriate or function as sports parks). SPMP includes 30 parks = 36% of the total P&O activity

 Info from Finance (MGMTCC-2) –financial year 2013: - Operational Costs = $24,905 - Litter Bins = $43,161 - Contractor costs (mowing, turf renewals etc.) =$1,650,000

- Repairs/maintenance = $571,441 TOTAL = $2,289,500

 36% of $2,289,500 = $824,220 of the total P&O operational/maintenance costs is spent on sports parks in the SPMP

 $824,220 divided over the 30 sports parks means on average it costs Council $27,474 per annum to maintain a sports park.

 21 of sports parks include sports fields - 9 sports parks have ‘other sports surfaces’ (including a variety of surfaces such as netball courts, golfing greens, skate parks, and mountain biking surfaces).

 There is a variation of approx = $40 per sports surface and $7,000 per sports field (e.g. $400 per annum to sweep Victoria Park Netball Courts/10 courts approx $4000 per surface per annum compared with community quality turf e.g. Waikirikiri Reserve per annum per sports surface) currently spent of sports surface maintenance = other sports surfaces 10% of expenditure compared to 90% sports fields

 Sports parks with ‘other surfaces’ vs sports parks with sports fields/turf operational costs are approximately: Operational Costs = $24,905/30 = $830 per park Litter Bins = $43,161/30 = $1438.00 per park Contractor costs = $1,650,000 (90% sports field and 10% ‘other surface’s = $16,500 = 1%, approx 90 x $16,500 = $1,485,000 of maintenance costs spent of sports parks with sports fields and approx $165,000 spent on sports parks with ‘other sports surfaces ) = 1,485,000/20 = $74,250 per sports park with turf and 165000/10 = $16,500 per sports park with ‘other surfaces’. Repairs/maintenance = $571,441/30 = $1904 per park TOTAL = $2,289,500 (an equitable range would be a range of $78,422 sports parks with sports turf and sports parks with other surfaces = $20,627) costs per annum

Sports Parks Management Plan February 2015

 A financially equitable range would allocate approximately $78,422 per sports park with turf and $20,627 per sports park with ‘other surfaces’. However currently 90% may be allocated to sports turf and in some instances more than this is it is ‘high’ quality turf such as cricket pitches at Harry Barker Reserve compared to very little maintenance or development expenditure such as Victoria Domain (Netball)).

Depreciation for netball courts should also be taken in to consideration (however Council does not include a depreciation budget at this time).
